VIVA CUBA tells the story of the friendship between two children threatened by their parents' differences. Malu is from an upper-class family and her single mother does not want her to play with Jorgito, as she thinks him rough and common. Jorgito's mother is a poor socialist who is proud of her family's social standing. She places a similar restriction on her son. What neither woman recognizes is the immense strength of the bond between Malu and Jorgito. When the children learn that Malu's mother is planning to leave Cuba, they travel to the other side of the island to find Malu's father and seek his help to prevent the separation. (Cuba, 2005; NR)
